6803dc0ea8 kbuild: replace abort() with exit(1)
We have had no use of the coredump file for a long time.
So just exit(1) and avoid coredumping.

15fde67518 kbuild: support for %.symtypes files
Here is a patch that adds a new -T option to genksyms for generating dumps of
the type definition that makes up the symbol version hashes. This allows to
trace modversion changes back to what caused them. The dump format is the
name of the type defined, followed by its definition (which is almost C):

  s#list_head struct list_head { s#list_head * next , * prev ; }

The s#, u#, e#, and t# prefixes stand for struct, union, enum, and typedef.
The exported symbols do not define types, and thus do not have an x# prefix:

  nfs4_acl_get_whotype int nfs4_acl_get_whotype ( char * , t#u32 )

The symbol type defintion of a single file can be generated with:

  make fs/jbd/journal.symtypes

If KBUILD_SYMTYPES is defined, all the *.symtypes of all object files that
export symbols are generated.

The single *.symtypes files can be combined into a single file after a kernel
build with a script like the following:

for f in $(find -name '*.symtypes' | sort); do
    f=${f#./}
    echo "/* ${f%.symtypes}.o */"
    cat $f
    echo
done \
| sed -e '\:UNKNOWN:d' \
      -e 's:[,;] }:}:g' \
      -e 's:\([[({]\) :\1:g' \
      -e 's: \([])},;]\):\1:g' \
      -e 's: $::' \
      $f \
| awk '
/^.#/   { if (defined[$1] == $0) {
            print $1
            next
          }
          defined[$1] = $0
        }
        { print }
'

When the kernel ABI changes, diffing individual *.symtype files, or the
combined files, against each other will show which symbol changes caused the
ABI changes. This can save a tremendous amount of time.

Dump the types that make up modversions

9f28bb7e1d [PATCH] add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE()
This patch adds the ability to mark symbols that will be changed in the
future, so that kernel modules that don't include MODULE_LICENSE("GPL")
and use the symbols, will be flagged and printed out to the system log.

c79c7b0923 kbuild: fix genksyms build error
genksyms needs to know when a symbol must have a "_" prefex as is
true for a few architectures.
Pass $(ARCH) as commandline argument and hardcode what architectures that
needs this info.
Previous attemt to take it from elfconfig.h was br0ken since elfconfig.h
is a generated file.

f7b05e64bd kbuild: Fix bug in crc symbol generating of kernel and modules
The scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c uses hardcoded "__crc_" prefix for
crc symbols in kernel and modules. The prefix should be replaced by
"MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##__crc_" otherwise there will be warnings when
MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX is not NULL.

I am sorry my last patch for this issue is actually wrong. I revert
it in this patch.

a89a0a2354 kbuild: Fix genksyms handling of DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo_s *, bar);
This is a one-line change to parse.y.
To take advantage of this the scripts/genksyms/*_shipped files needs to
be rebuild - this is the next patch.

When a .c file contains:
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo_s *, bar);

the .cpp output looks like:
__attribute__((__section__(".data.percpu"))) __typeof__(struct foo_s *) per_cpu__bar;

With the existing parse.y, the value inside the paranthesis of
__typeof__() does not evaluate as a type_specifier and therefore
per_cpu__bar does not get assigned a type for genksyms which results in
the EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL() not generating a CRC value.

I have compared the Modules.symvers with and without this
patch and for ia64's defconfig, the only change is:
Before 0x00000000    per_cpu____sn_nodepda   vmlinux
After  0x9d3f3faa    per_cpu____sn_nodepda   vmlinux

per_cpu____sn_nodepda was the original source of my problems.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
